I still remember the first time I saw a photo of Loulou de la Falaise. It was at the Musée Galliera, and I was immediately drawn to her clothes, the styling, l’allure. I knew instantly that she was not just another model. She was the epitome of chic, elegance, grace and style ...
Things are rarely easy for the actor who choses to dabble in pop. For every Donald Glover, apparently able to flit at will between the film set and the recording studio, pausing only to bask in the superlatives that garland both sides of his work, there are umpteen Russell Crowes or Johnny Depps, their dreams of polymath stardom crushed by a reception that ranges from suspicion to bemusement to outright hostility.
SO WE FINALLY ordered a projector, which arrived just in time for the weekend. We spent the entire weekend watching films projected huge on a blank wall, some of them flipped backwards before we could figure out the settings to flip them the right way around. We ate fattening foods and slept in and I finished another book ...
THERE ARE AT LEAST three more weeks of lockdown here in the UK, so to make the best of it, here are a few cosy images of being at home―homebody inspiration for the introverts and extroverts alike.
BECAUSE IT'S Thursday and these links are late (although who is really keeping track of time at the moment?), we'll begin these notes with a quote by Dale Carnegie: “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
WEEK TWO of social distancing and things feel far from normal, and whenever we're feeling a little stressed, it always helps to dream a little, and what better place to begin than the Parisian real estate listings on Instagram?
IT IS NO SECRET that we adore the work of Joseph Dirand here at TIG, having featured it many times before. The son of renown photographer Jacques Dirand, gives us a glimpse into his brand new 2,600-square-foot home on the Right Bank ...
WE FIRST FEATURED the home of husband and wife design duo Dorothée Boissier and Patrick Gilles way back in November 2013, but have just stumble upon new-to-us (and more casual) photos of their newly renovated Paris apartment and couldn't resist revisiting this beautiful space once again.
DON'T KNOW HOW I missed Clare Waight Keller’s Paris apartment when it was featured in The Wall Street Journal in March of 2016, but so happy I came upon it now in their archives. At the time, Waight Keller was still the Creative Director at Chloé and living in Paris...
Every year Nadia Candet opens up the doors at Private Choice and invites everyone to feel « comme chez soi »
This is my third time visiting Private Choice, where Nadia Candet has once again asserted her curatorial taste and displayed everything in an Haussmannien apartment. This year the event is unfolding over two appartements.
Like many of you have already noticed, almost everyone on Instagram is on holiday, laying in the sun and doing nothing. In case you are still at work, as well, here is something that made me dream for a while this week and took my mind off of work.
PARIS - We've featured our share of Paris apartments here at TIG, as well beautiful interiors found on Instgram. This Haussmannian fits into both categories. L’Appartement La Fayette, as it is known, is Canadian Jackie Kai Ellis' latest project, a space she bought in the winter of 2017.
PARIS - You may not know David Jimenez, but it's certain you'll know his work, for he has played a major part in developing the very specific aesthetics of Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and Williams Sonoma.
LATELY HAVE BEEN thinking about a lot of things―love and life and the things that matter most. But also about phones and social media and the attention economy and all the many, many articles have read about the dangers of all three...
